Thermal imaging roof survey in Underling Green, Kent
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Underling Green, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands

How a thermal roof survey works in Underling Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Common reasons to book are gaps in loft insulation and water that travels before it shows, across commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces.
In a small place like Underling Green, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like Underling Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Surveys for landlords and agents in Underling Green
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
Thermal roof surveys around Underling Green
Stoneacre, about 5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Underling Green. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.

Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Common roof problems in Underling Green
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Problems we come across often include:
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Water that travels before it shows
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
For any home in Underling Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- An energy rating for the building
- Proving moisture from the images alone
